Im having a problem with the front brakes on my f150 ...I replaced the rotors calipers and pads today and after bleeding the brakes both new calipers locked up and are constantly applying pressure tried to drive it and thought maybe they would loosen but they are still locked up ...any suggestions could it be a brake line or something thats about the only thing i havent replaced ????????????
thanks

it's a good possibility that it's a brake line; I've had old ones get soft and colapse and keep fluid from moving like it's supose to

i`ve seen on sum vehicles that the rubber line that goes to the caliper. its a double walled line... the inner line bleeds through to the outter rubber one and tend to hold pressure causing problems...

not mine, that's my father's I was redoing all his brakes for him 'cause he had a mean vibration when he got on the brakes. but I'm sure he would appreciate the compliments!

Nice looking 2010. I like my 2001, runs like it did when I bought it. Has 140k on it and runs great, oh and its paid off..even better! With one exception, my kids love to borrow it.

thanks it's plesantly stock at the moment, as it's only a coupld months old, lol

haha, yeah his 03 is in IMMACULATE condition

we've replaced a coil, and the brakes, and that's it! well, aside from the overhead consol; one of the doors broke off... and we had to repair that pesky spring on the pop-out cupholders... but those were easy fixes; it's a GREAT truck! it's got 170k on it and runs like a champ!

he works for Ford in a round about way, so he picked it up from a Ford salesman in 2006 (only 3 years old, and about 100k on it, and ALWAYS serviced at the dealership) for $4500; I'd say he got a good deal...

I wouldn't trade my 2010 for it though, lol

I've owned this 2000 F150 for about a year now.It went thru md. state inspection with no problem.I noticed the right rear drum brake seem to lock up..Now a year later and 4 different mechanic and about two thousand dollars it's still locking up.Sometimes both rear shoes lock up.I think the truck sat for sometime because the body had a lite green mold or mildew on it. Does anyone have any idea's???
